The Immortal Man (Who pours your coffee)

I have been a big admirer of Peggy Noonan’s since the time she was writing speeches for Ronald Reagan. We share a common Christian-Catholic faith that serves as a common ground for trying to understand each other’s philosophies of life and politics—which many times differ from each other. In my opinion she has the heart […]

Bad Choices Can Yield Devastating Results

As America is about to turn the page on four years of anarchy and chaos, we should all reflect back to the 2020 election when 81 million Americans voted to elect Joesph Biden the leader of our nation. I believe most of us would agree that this was the biggest mistake in the history of […]

The Leviathan Deep State

Donald Trump completed the greatest political comeback in American history when he won both the popular vote and the Electoral College vote last November. I think the well-organized weaponization of our legal system against him, the centralized control of the media from the highest levels of government—let’s just say collusion, and the demonization and characterization […]

Is there a Need for H1B visas?

For many years I have personally been opposed to H1B visas primarily because of the games that big corporations play using a system that is meant to be means to benefit our country’s economy and instead turn it into a way for them to make more profits with lower cost wages. Years ago, I wrote […]

Big Stick Energy

“Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far” Theodore Roosevelt We are witnessing in real time the “Trump Effect” where the implementation of Trump policies began the night of the election.

Trump Flashback

I wrote this in December of 2015, nearly a year before Trump was elected the first time. How did it age? He is bold, brash, bombastic and has an ego that will barely fit in the marble plated atrium of a New York City skyscraper. He is a self-made billionaire who flies his private 757 […]

We Will Pray for Them

The cries of fascism, racism, sexism, and isim-ism, continue to be bantered about by info babes and gals and those in the written media even two weeks after the election. Unfortunately, a withered worn-out endomorph in Hollywood has published a “screed” on his web page that can only be produced by a heart infected by […]

We Need an Idaho Donald Trump

Today has been a great day. First Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are given portfolio and title to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency. CNN certainly has a different take on what is about to happen than the new directors themselves: https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/12/politics/elon-musk-vivek-ramaswamy-department-of-government-efficiency-trump/index.html https://nypost.com/2023/11/13/news/vivek-ramaswamy-vows-to-fire-federal-workers-based-on-social-security-numbers-nothing-will-break Classical business governance dogma—I must admit that it has over the […]

Trump’s Election is a Mandate for Change

A Mandate for Change: Trump winning this election will change the course of America back to its original premise of Freedom, Justice, and Prosperity for all. We have seen the enemy and it was us. Fortunately, Americans saw how they were being manipulated for the past 4 years under Biden/Harris and said very loud and […]
